You should also make sure that at least one system has the dual ported 
disk designated as "xx" in /etc/fstab at all times.  If both systems have 
it designated as "rw" or "ro" and you experience a power failure, you 
could (and probably will :-) get it mounted on the wrong system at the 
wrong time.  This could lead to big problems depending on what you're 
using the disk for.
